Population justification: There is no information on the population size. In view of its small range, it is suspected that the population may be small, numbering between 250 and 999 mature individuals. Surveys to confirm these numbers are urgently required.
The subpopulation structure has not been investigated. Based on observational records (per eBird 2021) it is suspected that the species forms at least four, but likely not more than ten, disjunct subpopulations.

Trend justification: At previously occupied sites, the species has declined or disappeared following the logging of mangroves and humid forests (Lebbin et al. 2020).
Over three generations (14.7 years; Bird et al. 2020), around 4% of tree cover is lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2020, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Given that this species is strictly forest-dependent, the degradation and fragmentation of forests may exacerbate the rate of decline. The rate of population decline is therefore precautionarily placed in the band 1-19% over three generations.
